Mission Call

Jenn mentioned a couple of posts ago that my parents had their mission call but hadn't opened it yet because my dad was backpacking and my mom was in Virginia visiting a new granddaughter. Well, my dad finally made it to Virginia and they opened their call about an hour ago. The result? They're headed to ...


...Edinburgh, Scotland!!! They will serve as family history missionaries for 18 months, and leave November 23rd. Needless to say, we're all thrilled about the assignment (it's perfect for them!), and Jenn and I are secretly hopeful that their mission president will allow visitors. :) I'm sure there's an academic conference in the UK that I could present at, right?

If you see my parents, tell then congratulations!

Oh my goodness, that is so exciting! It looks like an absolutely amazing place, I definitely hope you get to visit while they are there!

That's awesome! The timing is good too. I was so afraid that they'd have to pack and be gone one week from the time that they opened the call. We are happy for them and for you - it sounds like a great place to visit.

That's on the list of considerations for study abroad.
